How Marcinek started their logo design journey

Company name

Ganbare Athletics

Overview

We are a new athletic apparel company that will sell quality, athletic apparel such as T-shirts, Hoodies, wifebeaters, thermals, hats, sweatpants, things like that

This is a company founded by two judo players/ grapplers so eventually we will expand our line to include judo/ jiu-jitsu gis and MMA board shorts, So, will cater towards that demographic but we want our apparel to be for everyone

"Ganbare" is a Japanese word meaning "to persevere, to never give up"

Tell us a bit about who you are and the people you reach

As was stated above, we will lean towards catering to the Mixed Martial Arts target audience so males 18-35 but we want our logo to be universal so that anyone can wear our clothes and carry on the "Never Give up" Message.

Requirements

What we would like is really two logos in one. We would like some type of Stylized "G" for our logo something aggressive but clean and classic. think Champion, underarmour, in the MMA world, Clinch gear and then underneath The "G", "Ganbare athletics" written out in a stylized Manner so we can either use the text or the "G" or Both on our products

Since this will be used on clothing, the colors will probably be ever changing so just basic black and white will be fine but if you want to throw some color ideas in there please feel free

The attached file is a good example of a clothing company which uses a Single letter and text for its logo. Obviously, DO NOT just give use a replica of the below logo
